The sides of the midsection look photoshopped.

The reality is most people aren't all that smart. Even "smart people" aren't all that smart. A lot of people have a particular niche and are good at that. And for most people who go on about "critical thinking," what they really mean by that is "comes to the same conclusions as I do." (And I find that to be the case regardless of where that person falls on the politicial spectrum.)

You have to remember a distressingly high proportion of straight men have absolutely horrible hygiene. I have zero interest in an unwashed cock that smells like shit because its owner neither wipes properly nor showers thoroughly.

Assuming you have a decent "legitimate" income as well, it's pretty easy to do over time. You just pay for groceries etc with the cash, then transfer that sum from your checking to your savings account. Obviously don't do it all at once...

I did it as a teenager because I was self conscious about the man-boobs. But I eventually got over it.

Are you thinking of Evolve on 57th street? I'm sure it's happened there.

I think in this particular case the likelihood is very high that he sees you as a potential safe regular outlet for his urges and is feeling you out on your willingness to be his side piece. In his mind sex is awesome for both of you so it's win-win. It sounds like you are not on the same page at all. If he's a good friend, you should be able to tell him directly that you're not looking for that kind of arrangement and move on. If you're a great friend, find a gay slut buddy of yours to service him lol. He sounds bisexual heteroromantic. And you sound like you're not going to be at all happy with only the one aspect of him. It's not an issue of can a bi man have a relationship with a gay man. It's an issue of what is your friend ACTUALLY looking for and are you filling in blanks in what he says with your own hopes?

If you're just browsing, a Chromebook should be good enough for your needs.

Unfortunately, I think that there are a LOT of men for whom partnered sex is essentially an extension of masturbation. Women are usually less willing to put up with that treatment.

The giveaway in Vegas is generally just a bit too much makeup for the setting for a woman who is not traveling in a pack.

As a gay man trapped in a straight man's body(overweight,balding), when I'm walking alone in Vegas after say, midnight I will generally get catcalled at least once. But a lot of them are a bit more subtle and if you're not looking for it you won't notice it. Some of them simply ride up and down the hotel elevators, others will sit down at a table where there are one or two guys who are clearly alone, etc. And some will find a mark who thinks they're just hooking up and will then ask for the money after, figuring he'll just pay to avoid a scene.

Why do they keep trying to make Glen Powell happen? What producer is he blowing/letting fuck him?

I remember thinking Dave "Angel Wings" was the most gorgeous guy I'd ever seen, then heading to the lounge to talk to him about a private... and his cigarette breath was so overpowering from three feet that I just mumbled something and walked away.

Yes it's not that demand has gone up, it's that supply has gone down.

This reminds us me how despite the fact I'd been going to chiropractors and physical therapists on and off for 20 years, when I was finally ready to go under the knife, they tried to postpone my MRI by 12 weeks so I could try PT first.

What a 40ish provider in Vegas told me was a lot of the kids today who previously would have gone into escorting now just do OnlyFans because it's easier, so the amount of money it takes to get someone in person has gone up.

I thought energy work was reiki where they don't actually even touch you, so beware.

I wasn't. My father had been but did not push any of his sons to be one, which I think disappointed my mother. He told a story of how one day he just decided he didn't want to be one and skipped the Mass he was supposed to serve at. Years later I looked back and wondered if something had happened to him. We def had a couple of priests who he didn't like, but to date the only sex scandals to come to light at my parish were with a priest and a married woman.

Latin men are all over the place on that one, as Latin America is mutiracial. Depends what mix one is. Some age well, some age like that boy who looked like a 25 year old model freshman year of HS who was bald and 50 lbs overweight at the 10 year reunion....

So you can say "I'm not Catholic, but I WAS an altar boy!"

HPV is spread by skin to skin contact. Doesn't require penetration. A lot of wrestlers get it, and herpes, without even having sex.

I felt like he had a more Anglo name but it's possible. White guy, medium brown hair, kind of Abercrombie looking.

Yeah there was a super hot DJ can't remember his name. Sometime toward the end he was wearing an eye patch for a while.

I remember when I was a kid reading my older brother's straight porn mag from the late 70s there was an article with a pictorial where one of their editors got up on stage and danced and that was one of my first inklings that my inclinations lay that way. First went there in 1998. Thomas was first private, kind of a dud. The second was TJ(RIP) which was much more memorable. But was the Gaiety actually shut down "by the authorities" or was it just the building was sold and slated for demolition?

I think the straight providers are usually one extreme or the other, either very good or very bad, and if you are observant you develop an ability to sniff out which is which. The ones who think of it as a job and are able to compartmentalize it can do it very well. If you think about this, you see people like this in the corporate world all the time, the guys who are able to just spout the company line as if they believe every word of it, even though everyone knows it's BS. Same principle applies.
